• Successful people continuously develop the core purpose of their life

• Master the basics in order to become comfortable with the complex

  • As you move to things more complex the fundamentals become more nuanced

• If you can't solve a problem look for an easier problem that you can't solve

• Clear the clutter and focus on essentials

• Consciously acknowledge what you actually see

• Ask “how do I know?”

• Try alternating opinions, even to those you feel are wrong

• Use adjectives to see the invisible

  • ex: world war 1
